Hi,

Not a lot of information to go, but try checking the line chart is not of
the stacked variety.

Cheers

Hi Andy
Thanks so much for your quick response but I had read through the threads
and had already checked to see if it was a stacked linear chart. It was not.
I resolved the issue but probably not in the best way. When I clicked to
edit the Y axis, I saw that the maximum field was set to 1.2 so I just
uncheched that field and changed the value to 1.0 and it seemed to work.

Hi,

Not sure how setting the max to 100% has solved the problem. I think you
have just masked the problem by cutting the line so section above 100% is
not displayed. Of course the slope of the line will still be incorrect.

If you want to send example I will take a look.
